​This is a priority element under the Amended Codes and measures the extent to which entities procure goods and services from Empowering Suppliers with strong B-BBEE recognition levels. It also measures the extent to which enterprises carry out supplier development and enterprise development initiatives intended to assist and accelerate the growth and sustainability of black enterprises. This includes assisting suppliers with loans, grants, training, discounts, preferential credit terms etc.
​
Making up a large percentage of the Amended B-BBEE Scorecard, this element is critical to obtaining a good B-BBEE rating. Pinnacle provide a cost effective internet based supplier system to assist you with the annual collection of your supplier’s scorecards, enabling you to manage this element effectively.
